WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!
I am a competition economist at the Belgian Competition Authority (Chief Economist Team). My role involves merger control, abuse of dominance investigations, and sectoral studies. I am driven to use quantitative techniques to shed light on antitrust matters. I employ theoretical models and/or econometric tools, tailoring my approach to the particularities of each case.
I have also a keen interest in corporate tax avoidance. I have been fortunate to collaborate with various policy institutions (e.g., the French Council of Economic Analysis and United Nations) on multinationals' activities in tax havens. Furthermore, my work in business taxation has received awards from:
the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (Best PhD dissertation in all fields of science),
the United Nations (Best Research Work on International Investment and Development), and
the EU Tax Observatory (Young Researcher Award).
I hold a PhD in Economics from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, an MRes in Economics from the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and an Engineering degree in Statistics from ENSAE Paris. You can find more details about my background and current activities in my resume.
